seems that a Copish county man
by the name of II. B. Jones' was in the city on
n little clark when he and B. P. Graves, an
ex United States postal clerk, took "a notion that
they would stroll out TO the cemetery With
them, to think was to act, and after logging it
put the gravel road. they reached the cemetery
and began strollng through the handsome
grounds. They finally reached the Indian
mound where the Grant Penn berton monument
stood This seemed to excite specially the ire
or the man from Copiah. In spite of the efforts
OF Mr.. Graves TO keep him quiet he tore up an
Iron tablet on which embossed the act of
CONGRESS prescribing the penalties for desecra-
ting United States national cemeteries With

nizable shape.

Goldman, of the cemetery, apprised of the
doings of Jones by one of the hands, who had
tried TO stop him but had been repulsed and ha
at once started to arrest him Jones saw Mr.
Goldman approaching him and ran out Of the
gate. Once outside of the limits of the cemetery
Mr.rGodmau could not arrest him, but he dis
patched a negro to Capt w. @. Raum, deputy
United States marshal, with request that he
arrest the parties when they reached town.
Captain Raum found Jones' and when he ar
rested him he denied having been to the cem-
etery at all. but he acknowledged that he had
walked out the Gem etery road. He identi-
fed as the one who had done the mischief there
and was taken before Judge Lowenberg the
United States Commissioner when a charge OF
malicious mischief was preferred against him.
Mr.. Graves was also arrested as accessory and
gave bonds for his appearance.
